    ESPRESSO
    Daren R.

    We were walking in downtown Ocala and two girls overheard us talking about coffee shops and they said to check out Brown Dog Coffee House. This shop was just across the street from our location so we headed there. Stereotypical coffee house vibe inside with sofas, table games and a beautiful fireplace which added to the laid back ambiance - where we took refuge. Literally the one barista was making the fresh coffees and eats for all the customers so there was a ten or fifteen minute wait. Excellent competitive pricing for Espresso at $2.65, Cappuccino $4.45, Latte $4.40, Mocha $4.95 and Affogato $6.25. Next to the front counter was a gelato ice cream offering many flavors including Wild Strawberry, Coconut, Mint Chocolate Chip, Birthday Cake, Cookies & Cream and even a Vegan Vanilla. The owner took charge of the register and the line began to flow quickly as my Espresso was placed into my hand and was consumed quickly. The fireplace provided the perfect picturesque environment. The bathroom was super modern with light gray wooden flooring and a rectangular above counter sink, which added a nice flair.

    This is a brand new coffee venue downtown. The owners are local and dedicated to producing a great product. I ordered a cold brew with caramel and a lemon bread. Both were delicious. The workers were very helpful and congenial. Saturday I went back and ordered an iced hazelnut latte. Also good. The space is very inviting. I'd definitely go there to study or meet with friends.

    Cozy atmosphere.

    Went here to meet up with one of my friends. This place definitely had a cozy atmosphere. I got the brown dog and my son had a frappe and a brownie. Cost a little under $20. The drinks were good. My son ate half the brownie by the time I took a picture. Only complaint is there seems to be only one person work which made for a long wait to get our drinks. I'll go back again.

    Coffee was great but it literally took 3 employees including the manager 15mins to make my iced americano with 2 people ahead of me in line who had clearly been standing there a while before I got there. Overcharged me for an extra double shot. Advertised as $1.00, was charged $2.40. $6 for a small iced americano with an extra double shot. And when the drink was finally finished, they were out of lids. Maybe I caught them on a bad day?

    The coffee flavor, prices, and kind attitudes are not the issue. The issue is the incredibly slow service, lack of delegation and consistency. From my experience, they need more management and knowledge on how to run a coffee shop, from being comfortable with the coffee machines, knowing your menu, and organization. Everyone was doing everything with no specific dedicated duties assigned, to the point that an extra sandwich was created for a customer who had already received their order and left. The service was so slow another customer had to skip out on a breakfast sandwich they had already paid for because they needed to leave. Additionally, inventory seems to need to be done with time considering there was no lids for any of their coffee to-go cups (neither hot or cold). Lastly, the stinginess and lack of consistency on their sandwiches was frustrating. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on an English muffin and what I received after 30 minutes of waiting for 2 simple iced coffees and 2 of these small sandwiches was a plain English muffin, a slab of premade egg with crumbs of bacon and NO cheese. There's a lot of potential here but sadly better management is needed. very disappointing visit and wouldn't return.

    Friendly barista, cute coffee shop, but VERY weak coffee. I would not suggest trying it.

    We stopped by Emma's Patisserie at the end of the night and there were SO many baked goods to…read morechoose from! The whole place reminded me of a European bakery with a more luxurious feel. Everything inside was white and there was plenty of seating. There was a line when we arrived but they moved through it pretty quickly. We ended up getting a raspberry cheesecake, a chocolate-filled doughnut, and a blueberry cream cheese danish. Everything was fantastic! Definitely a spot I'd recommend stopping by after dinner if you're craving something sweet. There were so many things I wanted to try, so I'll definitely be back!

    Basically traveled to WEC solely to give this place a try…read more Pretty unassuming being in the hotel but was surprised at the variety and quality of the pastries. Specifically had the raspberry and chocolate croissants and was very happy with both. Raspberry croissant was super flaky with a nice cream and jelly inside. Little messy to eat, but delicious and not too sweet. The chocolate croissant was also very good and both pastries were large. Price for both was a little steep but given size, quality, and being at WEC it really wasn't bad. Coffee was also pretty good with the price surprisingly reasonable be given its location. Place was fairly busy but the line moved quickly so it wasn't an issue. If you're looking for a nice pastry and coffee I would definitely repeat if you're at or near WEC.
